Most common problem which most of the people faced is with lower back and it will lead to some serious issues like Anterior pelvic tilt.

Anterior pelvic tilt is caused by excessive sitting or lack of physical activity. It affects posture and the shape of the spine.

If you are not physically active and ignoring stiffness and pain occurred in lower-back then you have to check your posture immediately .

This was a painful problem for me until one year ago. Then I did start to use an exercise ball as chair.

It seems that the muscles near the backbone are continually working in the moments where you move and unconsciously try to get the equilibrium state.

A year or more later, I have not experienced a single pain.
